Bath re-enamelling in Benhilton without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and chips and rust in more than one place.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Benhilton as everywhere else we work.

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Benhilton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When to call us in Benhilton

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Benhilton

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you cover Benhilton?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Benhilton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
